Increase and improve K-12 education for all. Equalize money to all school districts regardless of their residents' ability to pay taxes. A good public education is our great equalizing factor and the future of our country.

Our public education system is failing too many students miserably due to lack of adequate funding and diversion of public funds to private, charter and religious schools. We need to be looking at what the most successful school systems in other countries are doing and replicate what they are doing on a national level. Funding for every school should be equal and not dependent on community affluence based property taxes.
